The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Siles couldn't help but startled, then frowned slightly.He looked around and saw the Westside waifs scattered and talking to each other.He did not see Jimmy.

He said, "Could it be that I went to deliver the goods and haven't come back yet?"

Anthony shook his head, he was silent for a while, and then said: "He is... In the afternoon, he told me that he had some things to deal with. Then he left. He said he would try to do it in two hours Come back within.

"You didn't show up at the time. I thought he was going to eat, or something. But now, it's almost three or four hours later, it's getting dark, and he still hasn't shown up. I don't know... I do not know how it happened."

"Calm down, Anthony." Sirius said in a low voice. "Did Jimmy say what he was going to do when he left?"

"...He didn't say anything." Anthony pondered for a moment, "By the way, he seemed to have been thinking about something before. Let me think about it, he seemed to say something to me...'very bright and very dark'?"

Siles was surprised to hear Anthony mention those five words.He couldn't help asking: "Under what circumstances?"

"Jimmy was just... just saying, he was thinking of something and told me not to bother him. I asked him what he was thinking of and he said the place was 'light and dark' and it reminded him of something else. I don't know anything else."

Sirius nodded thoughtfully.

Qin Duo whispered in confusion, "He found...?"

"Maybe." Siles said, "then he ran over impulsively. I think, maybe he wanted to prove himself, or he didn't want to find the wrong place, so he went to check carefully. But... "

Having said that, he could not help but stop, and sighed lightly.

Anthony's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Do you know where Jimmy went?"

Siles shook his head, and he said instead, "We should be able to find him, though. Do you have anything that Jimmy usually carries?"

Anthony scratched his hair, and said, "It doesn't seem to be... Wait." He took out a Rubik's Cube from his backpack, "Jimmy secretly bought it with the money he saved, and he said he liked this toy very much.

"He was playing with this thing at noon, but before he left, he said that it was inconvenient for him to carry this thing, so he asked me to keep it... Should this come in handy?"

Siles nodded, he reached out to take the Rubik's Cube, and said, "Yes, don't worry."

"...Anthony?" Irene called from a distance, probably asking Anthony to go with them.

"I'm here, Mom!" Anthony also responded loudly, and then he looked at Celes with some unease, and asked, "Jimmy...is something wrong?"

"We'll find him," Sirius whispered, "so don't worry. Stay home and wait for the good news, Anthony."

Anthony nodded suspiciously, then left with his parents.Soon, only Siles and Qin Duo were left at the door of the closed toy store.

Cinder said: "Did he really find the location? Such a young kid?"

"Maybe we're not as smart as this young kid." Siles said, and he handed the Rubik's Cube to Cendo, "Here's to you, try to find him."

Qin Duo played around a bit.The location of this shop was originally relatively remote, located in a corner alleyway, so no one noticed that the two of them were standing here.

Qin Duo took out a piece of paper from the Bloodborne Codex from his pocket, then stretched out his hand to pinch a word from it, and threw it on the Rubik's Cube. The whole process was exactly the same as the last time they were looking for what Mike Lampson lost. .

And the process of finding people is even simpler than finding objects.

Siles and Qindo looked at the Rubik's Cube at the same time.After a while, Qin Duo looked up into the depths of the underground passage."I found it," he said.

Jimmy sat shivering on the ground.Surrounded by other crying children.The light flickered, illuminating a hideous and aging face in front of him.

As Jimmy ran to the place he guessed without thinking, what he thought was that at last he could help Mr. Noel.

He had just seen that place from a distance, so he wanted to confirm it first.If it doesn't meet the "very bright and very dark" standard, then he just thinks he is wrong.He didn't want to disappoint Mr. Noel.

...that place is by the Kanla River, very close to the bank.

Jimmy had seen that place once when he picked up litter in the Kanla River.He saw a flash of lights and figures, that was... that was a basement.At that time, he almost thought he was dazzled.

He said to his companions, why does it seem that there is a room under the river?

Then he looked at them and realized that there really was a subterranean room.

The underground passage extends to the vicinity of the Kanla River, creating a new and unknown underground territory. The exhaust window at the top of the room is on the slope along the Kanla River. If you don’t look carefully, you may even think it is construction waste .

On the banks of the Kanla River in the west city, there were no people living in the first place.This is abandoned land, no one has come to renovate it, and no one is willing to invest here. Even the homeless, they dislike the land on the banks of the Kanla River for being too wet.

...It turns out that there is an underground passage here.The thought flashed through Jimmy's mind.

It was a strange place, he thought.It was dark outside, but brightly lit inside; however, if the lights were not turned on, or the lights did not shine, it would be very dark, so dark that it would be frightening.Outside the window of that bright place was the deep and dark Kanla River.

That was three years ago.

Three years ago, Naissar Bryant hadn't started wandering; three years ago, Jonathan Bryant's evil plan had just begun; three years ago, Darwin Hospital's reputation still maintained a good record.

Jimmy knew nothing about it.

All he knew was that Mr. Noel was looking for a very light and dark place, near the Canla River, connected to an underground gang.

... Then, the underground passage along the Kanla River must be the most suitable.Maybe someone has dug some underground space there and is doing some unseemly things.

That must be Mr. Noel's destination as well.He's on the trail of some evil people, like the heroes of some stories.Jimmy thought so.

He felt an unprecedented excitement, and it can also be said to be uneasy and nervous.He felt he had been involved in something amazing, and that his serendipitous discovery three years ago could have helped...it was incredible!

He was so excited that he decided to take a look for himself without even thinking about it.He had to confirm it, he thought so; if he didn't confirm it, it would not be a good thing for Mr. Noel to make a trip in vain.

Besides, Jimmy was a young kid.Young children like them don't always attract the attention of underground gangs.Most of the underground passages are guarded by underground gangs in the West Side, and no one is allowed to enter, except for places like Dawson Street that are open for business.

So, Jimmy thought he had to find a way.Maybe, Mr. Noel has to rely on him to get to that place—Jimmy couldn't help thinking proudly.

The thought thrilled him so much that he forgot the cold of the winter evening, the hunger he hadn't had dinner, the danger it might put him in.He rushed to that possible secret place impulsively.

When he sneaked around the eyes of the underground gangsters he knew, walked through the huge, complicated, and meticulous underground passageway, and arrived at the mysterious area, he didn't really realize that he had succeeded. up.

It is really a very bright and very dark place, because some wall lamps are broken, and if there is no lamp, the light is very dim, so when people walk through here, they will feel that their vision becomes brighter and darker , On and off, very strange.

It's very quiet here.Jimmy was actually a little lost in the place guarded by the underground gang, but he walked all the way east, with a kind of courage and persistence that he didn't expect, and kept moving forward.

Until a certain moment, he stopped, and saw that the complicated and curved underground passage finally ended in front of an iron gate.It was a beautiful and elegant arch shape, but a cold and deep iron door was used as the door.

He and the iron gate looked at each other across the dimly lit corridor.This is underground, and there is silence around, Jimmy heard the sound of himself swallowing saliva nervously.

At that moment, he realized a little belatedly that the iron gate seemed to indicate something, as if it meant that he had really found something extraordinary.

But... He was a little stunned and thought, how come?How could it be so easy to find?

Is no one guarding the iron gate?

Jimmy had the courage to tiptoe to the front of the iron gate.It was really a heavy iron door.The ground was gradually becoming wet and muddy. Jimmy saw two scratches on the ground, as if someone had pushed a cart past here.

He also saw his own footprints and other complicated and complicated footprints beside the two scratches.A vague thought flashed through his mind: not long ago, many people came here.

But Jimmy didn't think about it carefully, because he was attracted by the sound inside the iron door.It was really a loud, grand sound, the scolding of an old man, and the sound of some children crying loudly.

Jimmy also heard a young boy's voice, and a young girl's voice.And the voices of those two children were much calmer than the other children, as if they were talking to the old man.Also, there are some adult voices.

Too many voices.Jimmy felt a headache.

He stuck to the iron door, shivering because of the coldness of the metal.He put his hand on the crack of the iron door, closed one eye, and looked in through the crack of the iron gate with the other eye.

He did so cautiously, and then slowly saw the scene inside the door.

That's quite a big place!

An empty hall, bright lights, a few tables and chairs, and many doors.There were so many people standing in the middle that Jimmy couldn't see very well.He just saw some children slumped on the ground, two standing children, and several standing adults.

There was another man, his back to Jimmy, standing there.Mingming was holding on to the cane weakly, but it made Jimmy feel a strange sense of fear.He stared intently at the old man with a bent back.

Suddenly, his eyes dimmed, and a chubby object appeared in his field of vision.He froze for a moment before realizing that it was an eye.

"……what!"

Jimmy let out a scream belatedly, and was scared out of his wits by the eyeballs.His legs were weak and he fell directly to the ground.

The iron door opened with a creak, and a strong man came out, picked up Jimmy with one hand, then walked into the secret room, and threw Jimmy into the pile of children sitting slumped.He said succinctly: "I don't know where the child came from."

Jonathan Bryant glanced at Jimmy, let out a sneer from his nasal cavity, and said, "Don't worry about this kid."

Jimmy shivered from the coldness in the old man's eyes.He felt fear, but also a deeper thrill.He tried his best to hide this emotion, lowered his head, and his body trembled because of this emotion.

Jonathan thought the kid was probably scared out of his wits.He asked the strong man to close the iron gate, and then asked, "Are everyone else ready?"

"It has been withdrawn according to your intention." The strong man said honestly.

Jonathan nodded in satisfaction. He coughed and was about to say something. In front of him, one of the two standing children, the young boy said: "Stupid guy."

Beside him, the young girl nodded seriously.

Jimmy looked at the two of them, then at the cold and arrogant old man, and fell into a moment of confusion.

Jonathan frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"

Farther away, several adults in white clothes stood expressionlessly. They didn't seem to want to participate in the conversation between Jonathan and the others at this time.

"What are you talking about, Nanisar?" Jonathan said again.

"I said you are a stupid guy." Nanisar smiled mockingly, half of his immature face was a kind of clear malice, half of which was a strange coldness, "It's okay to die. dead, why do you want to live?"

The girl nodded seriously again, and she repeated: "If you die, you will die. Why do you want to live?"

Slowly blushing, Jonathan said incredulously, "What the hell are you doing, Nanisar? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know who I am? Do you know who you are?" ?"

"Who are you? Who am I?" said Nanisar. "You should be my humble follower, and I should be your god!"

Jonathan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Nanisar, with a kind of confused, confused, as if he was amused by something, complex emotions in his eyes.

He said, "What are you talking about, Nanisar? Are you mad?"

Nanisar tilted his head, and then his voice suddenly dropped.His voice shouldn't have been so deep, it didn't suit his age.He looked like a young boy who was far from his voice change.

He said: "Forget, Jonathan Bryant. I am the 'Holy Son'. You let me live in isolation, solitude, and see countless deaths, isn't it just to train me to be the 'Holy Son'?"

Jonathan froze there, his face trembling suddenly, with a very distinct consternation and shock.

"Now... oh, now, you regret it instead. Because you originally wanted to cultivate me into the body of a god, but now you want me to be your body. So, you regret it." Nanisar raised his head hands, clapped slowly.

The loud applause drew a deeper silence.

The girl looked around, tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands.She smiled and said, "Clap, clap. Thaddeus claps, Pessonari claps."

Pessonari?

Everyone was stunned.Jimmy huddled himself into a ball, only showing a pair of eyes, looking at the group as calmly as possible-calm down, calm down, Jimmy.Consider what Mr. Noel would do in this situation.

Mr. Noel will definitely observe the situation calmly, collect information, and look for breaking points.Yes, that's it.

Jimmy knew that he didn't have any power, but he also knew that he had disappeared for too long, and someone would come to him.Mr. Noel, he believed, was on his way.

And the scene in front of him, this inexplicable scene, must symbolize something.He was going to write it down and tell Mr. Noel, as he always did.

Jimmy let himself in and out slowly.He listened to the strange conversations of those people.

Jonathan stood there tremblingly, with an uncertain expression on his face.He looked at the two children in front of him, and didn't even know how to react for a moment.

Nanisar looked at him too, and then suddenly he laughed: "Look at you! Jonathan Bryant, look at you! You're so old and you're not content! I want to live on!"

"...Enough! Enough! Shut up!" Jonathan said loudly, "So what? Is it a bad thing to continue living! And you, do you really think you are some kind of god?!"

His eyes swept across everyone present so viciously.The big man, the men in white, the two kids standing, these kids slumped on the floor, and Jimmy.

He said: "You...you people are just my future body! I will remember your names, because that will also be my future name!"

Nanisar sneered: "Stupid guy. Stupid guy! You have such an idea, but never thought of a possibility? Stupid!"

"Idiot! Idiot!" The girl repeated like a parrot, she was smiling all the time, and looked very cute and cute.However, she stood beside the boy, like his half body.

Jonathan laughed contemptuously, and said, "And what can you, young Nanisar, do?"

"Make what?" Nanithar repeated the question, sighed heavily, and shook his head, "So stupid... so stupid! You want to 'be' these young humans, And me, I just want to 'be' an eternal god!"

"Eternal God." The girl repeated the description in a surprisingly soft voice, and smiled slightly.Her smile is still so soft and gentle.

But Jonathan trembled uncontrollably.

Jimmy swallowed in horror.He thought, He just heard... He just heard, that young boy, wanna be... wanna be, god?

What an arrogant kid!

And Nanisar still said in an exceptionally mature tone that didn't match his appearance and age: "You remember the names of these people present—and I, I remember the names of the gods. Why, can't I become a god? "

The girl repeated the statement softly, "Why not?"

Nanisar laughed loudly, his smile was so loud and grand, as if it caused countless echoes in this huge underground passage.That almost made Jimmy dizzy.

He forgot to hide his purpose, just raised his eyes and stared at the boy in astonishment.In fact, everyone was staring at him in astonishment, including the children who had been crying softly.

Everyone seemed to be captured by some incredible power. They looked at Nanisar in a dazed and incomprehensible way.

...the way to become a god.Reappear the gods on your own body.This is how the forces of this world work.

Reproduce the birth process of the gods, reproduce the power and behavior of the gods, and thus reproduce the gods.

Thus, man becomes God.

Jonathan kept trembling, he probably never thought of such a terrible method.He knew that there were some arrogant enlighteners who wanted to recreate the power of the gods, but... But, Nanisar wanted to be a god so madly!

In this dark and bright basement, he just wanted to get rid of his cumbersome body; but his posterity, his young and arrogant grandson, thought of a blasphemous method.

Blasphemy!His eyes were so stern and timid as he spoke.However, he himself was trembling, and he didn't even dare to really say these two words.

For he might not be able to deny that when Nanisar spoke of this method, he himself was so... so... so uncontrollably moved.

He closed his eyes tightly, then waved his hand.He said hoarsely: "Go to the final preparations!"

The sound woke up the people in white clothes who were in a daze.They looked from Nanisar, who was up and smiling, to the girl, and to Jonathan.Finally, like corpses, they walked into a room not far away with expressionless faces.

Jimmy heard a strange mechanical commotion.He shrunk his body nervously.The rest of the children were doing the same. Their bodies were very cold, but it gave Jimmy a very reluctant sense of security.

He thought, Mr. Noel—Mr. Noel, come on.

Jonathan took a deep breath, and at this moment he calmed down instead.He sneered, "You want to be a god, Nanisar. A ridiculous idea. If you can be a god, why not resist now? If..."

"You are shaken." Nanisar looked at Jonathan arrogantly, and he repeated this sentence, "You are shaken. Because you think that you can become a god as Jonathan Bryant, and you don't want to abandon this self-knowledge."

For a split second, Jimmy saw Jonathan's face covered in flickering lights.The light seemed to wear away the true colors of this old face, leaving it only showing a changing and drifting blur.

Jimmy wondered in that moment, was that like a living person?Or, just stepping on the boundary between half-life and half-death, lingering on the ground crawling?

Silently, he shrunk himself a little tighter.

The strong man walked to the door of the inner room and held the door faithfully.

After a long time, the silence in the basement continued.Jonathan gasped hard, like he was going to die if he didn't.He said slowly, "I can...all, get."

Both Nanisar and the girl were startled.

"The eternal life of the living, and the eternal life of the gods." Jonathan closed his eyes, his nostrils flaring, as if sensing the beauty of this world, "To live, as a human; to live, as a god. I can have both Got them all! Why did you have to pick just one?!"

He opened his eyes suddenly, the eyes were bloodshot, staring hard at everyone present.

"Young body, young mind, young vitality, I still want to have it! I want to regain my youth, regain my youth, and then freeze in this state forever! I will become a god with a young attitude... This is not okay?"

His tone gradually became low, and even took on a sticky and tender feeling.He seemed to be confessing to someone, or just to the goddess of youth who had already left him behind.

Nanisar shook her head and said, "That's greed."

The girl continued to parrot, saying, "It's really greedy."

Ferocious anger flashed in Jonathan's eyes, which made him look even colder and gloomy.He kicked his cane vigorously, as if using his last strength, and rushed towards Nanisar.

At this moment, the iron door was kicked open suddenly and hit the wall with a very loud "dang" sound.

The visitor was wearing a suit and a coat.He stood outside the arch with his back to the light, his face seemed hidden in the deep darkness of the corridor.His eyes scanned the situation on the scene very intently.

Jimmy's eyes lit up, and he said loudly almost without thinking: "Mr. Noel! You are here!"

"... Siles Noel!" Jonathan Bryant, who had just stood still, almost burst into anger when he heard the name. He turned to look at the figure, and said fiercely, "It's another you!"

The visitor squinted his eyes calmly, and fixedly looked at Jimmy who stood stunned by the side, telling him to keep silent. At the same time, he himself just looked at Jonathan silently.

He also looked at the other children present.Nanisar, the girl, and the children slumped on the floor shivering.Also, that tall, strong man.

Almost instantly, he had a panoramic view of the situation on the field.He lowered his eyes and nodded casually, as if in response to Jonathan's question—yes, that was him.

Jonathan was gasping for breath, his forehead was bulging with veins, and he looked ferocious and angry.He paced back and forth, not even looking at the man standing at the door, he was just immersed in his own world.

"Just a moment! Just a moment! I can die a normal life and be another young, healthy person! Just a moment!"

His voice was so angry, even full of unexplained indignation.

"And you, all of you! All of you trying to stop me! What kind of world is this? And why can't I live forever in this world?

"Yes, I have lived for decades. Can't I try to live for so many decades for myself? I want to meet the resurrection of the gods in the distant future!"

Nanisar suddenly sneered.

Jonathan stopped talking abruptly, and looked at Nanisar angrily.The strong man took steps forward and slowly walked behind Jonathan, looking at the man at the door with cold eyes.

They almost formed a confrontational situation.

And at that moment Nanisar said: "But the god is dead. Shouldn't you know that better than anyone?"

Jonathan let out a meaningless whine as if someone had suddenly strangled his throat.

"Since I was born, you tried to make me a vessel for Thaddeus' recovery." Nanisar said in a very flat tone. He raised his eyes, as if looking at Jonathan, but it also seemed to be through Jonathan look at other people.

In a tone that borders on bewilderment, he said: "You made me witness countless deaths. You killed, my parents killed, I killed myself. You made me experience death and threw me out of the house every now and then. , let me feel the taste of death.

"In the end, you killed my parents with your own hands, and let me see their blood flow on me. You feel that time is running out, and you are about to despair... But, I also feel despair, don't I?

"You want to live, so you can let others die; you let me practice the path of the gods, and hope that the gods will become me... But why, can't I become a god? Why not you to die?

"Why can't the world be turned upside down? Why?"

Nanisar asked Jonathan so stubbornly and so calmly.

Jonathan's lips quivered.He couldn't answer those questions, and they seemed to drag him back to a time when...he wasn't old enough to be brutally excited to use his family to practice the possibility of resurrecting a god.

. . . he was a believer in death.He killed countless people, and his life was crushed by the death of countless people.He heard the death knell of countless people ringing, and one day, the death knell will ring for him too.

Jonathan closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again.He heard his very indifferent voice: "Kill the guy at the door. Then, Nanisar..."

He said the first sentence to the strong man, and the second sentence to Nanisar.

However, before he finished speaking, there was a crashing sound behind him.It was his subordinate, the strong man with tenacious vitality—Jonathan had thought about using this body, but in the end he chose a younger and immature body.

He turned in disbelief and looked towards the door.All the children kept a very resolute silence, Nanisar and the girl, and the rest quietly covered their mouths and eyes at Jimmy's sign.

Two men appeared at the door.

The first man had already walked in. He had emerald green eyes and gray-white mid-length hair, and he was throwing something casually in his hand, like a lively word.Jonathan felt his head swell and almost crazy just by watching his actions like this.

The second man was still standing at the door. He had dark hair and eyes, and was wearing a pair of leather gloves. He seemed to be holding something in his hand.The two men were both wearing suits and overcoats. If you don't look at their faces, hair color and eye color, they are almost the same.

... Qin Duo opened the locked iron door, and when he kicked the door in, Sirius followed behind him.They walked all the way without encountering any obstacles, which made Siles feel strange.He realizes that something is happening, or is about to happen.

And Jonathan also realized that someone was coming.

But at that time, Sirius hadn't come out of the darkness, and Jonathan was misled by Jimmy. Under the misleading mood and dim light, Jonathan thought that the man standing at the door was Sirius.

He thought that he came alone, and the strong man was waiting for an opportunity, and Nanisar's words attracted Jonathan's attention, so Jonathan didn't pay attention to the appearance of Siles at all.

However, there is still Qin Duo.When Qin Duo used his strength, he was always very quiet and unobtrusive.

The dense gray-white mist turned into a knife and pierced into the strong man's chest.And apart from Siles, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can see this scene, not even Qin Duo himself.

An invisible knife cuts a visible wound.The strong man looked at his chest in extreme astonishment, and the pain invaded his brain in an instant, and he only had time to make an "uh" sound before falling down.

At the last moment, he didn't forget that his employer was behind him, so he tried his best to fall aside.Even so, the huge fallen body still made the ground tremble.

Jonathan watched this scene in astonishment.

Siles smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Bryant, we meet again."

Jonathan looked at him, then at Qindo, and said angrily, "You...!"

"Yes, I knew about it a long time ago." Siles said, "However, I'm not sure where your secret base is located, so I dare not act rashly. Besides, so many children are involved in this matter.

"...Thank you, Jimmy. Your bravery is commendable. You led us here. You are the greatest contributor to stopping this conspiracy."

Jimmy opened his mouth wide in bewilderment, and he quickly concealed this silly expression.He coughed and whispered, "No, you're welcome, sir."

Jonathan stared at him coldly, and he said, "Do you think this is over, even if you kill me?"

"...I've always been very curious. How can you be sure that one person's soul can be transferred to another person?" Sirius said, "You think it's still you?"

"Of course." Jonathan said firmly, "My God will bless my piety."

Siles waited and confirmed that Jonathan was so convinced, he could not help but look deeply at this stubborn and cold old man.His fear of death and his attachment to life have been distorted by time into an unbearable appearance.

And Jonathan didn't seem to want to talk nonsense.He took a deep breath, and then said loudly, "Do it!"

Everything that happened after that was like a long slow motion.

Several doors around the hall suddenly opened, and warriors in armor filed in.Qin Duo focused his eyes, and took off a word from the paper of the god template, and the invisible protective cover separated them from the soldiers.

And Siles just looked at Jonathan and raised his hand.While speaking, Jonathan picked up his cane and broke it. It was a pocket gun.

The muzzle of the black gun was aimed at Sires, but the invisible metal plate had already penetrated Jonathan's shoulder following Sires' intentions.

The metal piece pierced through the flesh of Jonathan's shoulder, splashing a burst of blood, and the speed remained unabated, all the way forward and plunged into the table.The wind picked up the newspapers on the table, and the papers were scattered all over the floor, stained with traces of blood.

Jonathan screamed and fell to the ground.Siles breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around.He thought to himself, he was going to hit Jonathan's hand...forget it, just missed it a little bit.

After all, he didn't have time to use [Akamala's spectacle frame] to aim at a more specific position during the flash.In short, the attack works.

He turned the pen around casually and put it back into the pen pouch inside the suit.

At the moment when he confronted Jonathan, the protective cover that Qindo's power transformed into suddenly exploded, blasting away all the armored warriors around them who wanted to attack them
